Youth Cong president Mithun Rai challenges Sangh Parivar to protest against centre
Slaughter house dispute
Bengaluru, October 15: “The country is in the first place in exporting beef and more than 75 per cent of exporting companies are in the name of Hindus and BJP MPs. If the Sangh Parivar has guts, let it protest against the Centre”, district Youth Congress president Mithun Rai challenged.
Speaking at a press conference here on Monday, Mithun Rai said that if the Sangh Parivar has real concerns towards cows, first it should protest against the centre and BJP leaders. Minister UT Khader had just given his suggestion for developing the slaughter houses in the city under the Smart City Project. But citing this as a reason, the VHP district president has insulted the minister with foul language. This would not bring good to the district politics, he said.
Slaughter house dispute
There was a proposal about the development of slaughter houses within the Smart City Project keeping in mind the cleanliness of the city. The BJP MP and MLAs could have opposed it to include it in the Smart City Project. Even now, there was BJP-led government at the centre. The BJP leaders could change the proposal through Urban Development Ministry. Instead of doing it, the Sangh Parivar and BJP leaders have been protesting the issue just to make it a political issue ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, he alleged.
Illegal cattle transportation should be stopped. But those who were arrested in illegal cattle transportation cases in Maroli, Kavoor, Karkala, Vittla and other places were belong to which organizations? In this illegal business, all communities have the share of at least 5 per cent people. But the remaining 95 per cent of the people have been facing the allegations. He has more than 50 cattle and every year, he would donate them. If the Sangh Parivar people have real concerns, let them rear the animals and show it to others, he challenged.
Corporator Praveen Chandra Alva, leaders Santosh Shetty, Girish Shetty, Kiran, Ramanand Poojary, Neeraj Patil, Premanath and others were present.

“Bleeding on the road, I begged for help but no one came”: Bengaluru woman recounts husband’s death
Bengaluru: A woman in Bengaluru has shared a painful account of how her husband died after they were repeatedly denied medical help and ignored by passersby during a medical emergency, NDTV reported.
The victim, 34-year-old Venkataramanan, a garage mechanic from Balaji Nagar, developed severe chest pain around 3.30 am. His wife immediately took him on a motorcycle in search of medical help.
"He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. However, the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they did not respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye." NDTV quoted his wife as saying.
According to the report, after being turned away twice, the couple met with an accident on the road. CCTV footage later showed the woman, covered in blood, pleading with folded hands as vehicles passed by, but no one stopped to help.

The wait ended after several minutes when a cab driver stopped and rushed Venkataramanan to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared him dead on arrival.
As per the report, the family decided to donate Venkataramanan’s eyes, giving sight to others even in death.
Venkataraman's mother, who had lost her last surviving child, had no words to express herself: "I have no words. I do not know what to say. My son is gone."
"The government should understand a health emergency. My daughter is left with two children. Who will look after them?" asked his mother-in-law. His wife, mother, and two children, a five-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter now survive Venkataramanan.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about emergency healthcare access, ambulance response, and public apathy in the city.
